I have been shopping for a navy and white striped t-shirt dress for months now. And my search had been unfruitful until last weekend when I found
the most perfect dress at the Banana Republic Factory Store. It was the perfect pattern with the perfect colors and the petite size fit me perfectly. And it was on sale!
Or so I thought. When I saw the display, it said that the dresses were 30% off the original price of $49.40, which would make it about $35. But when I went to cash out, the dress was full price. When I asked the cashier why it wasn't on sale, she explained that the promotion only applied to the misses sizes. Not petites.
WHAT!?I obviously handed the dress to the cashier and declared that I no longer wanted it. How can a store do that?!
I also may have sent a harshly worded email to customer care.
And thus, my search for the perfect and perfectly affordable navy and white t-shirt dress continues.
Update: After sending a super sassy email to Banana Republic Customer Service, they are sending me a gidt card for $15 -- the difference between the full and discounted price. Looks like a trip to the outlets is in order.
